"What the heck are you doing now?!"
Theresa, being held by Mo Wang, felt her small face... no, her old face... that's not right either. Anyway, her face turned bright red.
The Valkyries passing by all wore comical expressions.
Perhaps after today, the St. Freya forums would be filled with some strange fanfiction about Mo Wang and Theresa, as well as some weird doujinshi drawn by certain master artists.
"Principal! Even if I have no merits, I have at least worked hard! For the sake of St. Freya, I even ended up in the hospital. Please don't let the Overseer exile me to that godforsaken place!"
Mo Wang cried while winking at Kiana.
"What? Great-Aunt, Mo Wang is being exiled? You can't do that! At the very least, Mo Wang is a rare workhorse for our St. Freya! If he leaves, Teacher Himeko will have to work overtime and pull all-nighters again!"
Although Kiana's brain hadn't quite loaded what was going on, thanks to her long-standing tacit understanding with Mo Wang, she immediately joined him in clinging to Theresa and wailing.
She was even wailing more vigorously than Mo Wang.
Anyone who didn't know better would have thought that the Overseer was about to execute Mo Wang, and Kiana was mourning his death.
Well, in this situation, they would probably have to add a few more characters to the fanfiction and doujinshi.
And Theresa, caught in the middle of Mo Wang and Kiana's passionate combo move, was a little dazed.
She was just asking Mo Wang to make a trip to the Oceania Branch. How did it turn into this?
Was this really necessary?
And Mo Wang was thinking, going to the Oceania Branch was no big deal.
But if he remembered correctly, a Honkai Eruption was about to start there soon.
And it was a major eruption involving almost the entire continent of Oceania.
Even if Mo Wang himself wouldn't die, there was no reason to go and play in the center of a nuclear explosion right now, right? That would be pure suffering.
Here, we have to mention the branches under Schicksal's command.
It was strange, but of the three most mentioned and strongest branches in the story, the North American Branch and the Far East Branch had already rebelled. And as a newly established branch, the Oceania Branch was about to kick the bucket soon.
The Oceania Branch was established around 1999, with its headquarters in Queenstown, New Zealand.
Its purpose was to curb the expansion of Anti-Entropy's influence. The branch had strong technical capabilities and had been leading the development of the Coral Island Autonomous Region and the "Stairway to the Stars" project since 2007.
Of course, all of that was nonsense.
This branch was basically the most tragic one in the entire Honkai universe.
Because the squad stationed there was the infamous Snow Lotus Squad.
What? You don't know what the Snow Lotus Squad is? Well, there's a legendary figure in this squad, the one and only Herrscher of Ice, Ana!
First, Schicksal conducted experiments there and created the Herrscher of Wind, Wendy, who almost blew up the whole of New Zealand. Then came the Herrscher of Ice, Ana, who froze the entire Coral Island.
Just ask yourself, which nuclear blast zone has been hit twice?
And if you count the simp Chen Tianwu, that's three Herrschers popping up in Oceania.
As a result, of all of Schicksal's many branches, only the Oceania Branch was completely wiped from the records.
Mo Wang would have to be crazy to go to a place like that.
"Stop fooling around! This is an order directly from Grandpa. He wants you to go and inspect the Oceania Branch in his place."
Theresa handed a file to Mo Wang.
"Huh? Me?"
Mo Wang pointed at himself, his small eyes filled with great confusion.
"No, why me? What qualifications do I have?"
Mo Wang thought to himself, inspecting a branch on behalf of the Schicksal Overseer? Wasn't that like being an imperial censor in ancient times?
With his status, how could he possibly replace the green-haired troll?
"Why me? What about Durandal and Rita? If not, isn't there still Amber? How did it fall to me?"
Mo Wang asked Theresa with great confusion.
"I don't know about that. It seems Grandpa didn't say much. Anyway, if you go, you can also see my student."
Theresa said to Mo Wang.
"Huh? Great-Aunt, there are students from St. Freya in the Oceania Branch?"
Kiana was a little surprised to hear Theresa's words.
"Hey, what do you take St. Freya for? Although this place was only built a short while ago, we've also sent many excellent Valkyries to various branches, okay!"
Theresa looked at her niece with some annoyance. It was as if her words were saying that the St. Freya she had created was garbage.
"Not at all. St. Freya is one of the top branches in Schicksal. Our St. Freya is invincible, okay?"
Seeing Theresa pouting, Mo Wang quickly comforted her.
But to be honest, Mo Wang also felt that St. Freya was indeed strong.
Although it might not sound like St. Freya was very powerful, because it was an academy system, the Valkyries who had undergone training were indeed of a higher quality than all other Valkyries except for those at headquarters.
And, by the way, during the Second Honkai Eruption, Schicksal had gathered almost all of its forces, which only amounted to about 400 people, with only 6 A-rank Valkyries.
In comparison, the scale of St. Freya was simply ridiculous.
It was no wonder that in the future, they could directly challenge the headquarters.
By the way, this was the case even after the students of St. Freya had graduated and gone to other branches. If all the students of St. Freya had stayed after graduation, Otto probably wouldn't have dared to make a move.
"So, Principal, you're hoping that Mo Wang can go and see that graduated senior?"
Mei asked Theresa with some curiosity.
"Yes. Speaking of which, I haven't seen her in a long time. She was once the most proud student of our St. Freya."
When Theresa mentioned Wendy, a proud expression appeared on her face. But she also added.
"Actually, you don't have to call her senior. In fact, she graduated when she was 14. She's a few months younger than you guys."
"Excellent? How excellent? Is she better than me?"
Hearing Theresa start to praise someone, the white-haired Tuna immediately jumped out from the side.
"Much better than you! She was the best graduate of St. Freya, just like Fu Hua is now. She became an A-rank Valkyrie as soon as she graduated, and was even considered one of the most promising candidates to become an S-rank Valkyrie!"
Theresa tapped Kiana on the head with a huff.
"Whatever. I'll become an S-rank Valkyrie soon too."
Kiana muttered.
"You'd better pass your exams first! I'm really afraid you'll be a B-rank Valkyrie for the rest of your life."
Theresa really had no way to deal with her niece.
"So? Mo Wang, are you going?"
Theresa looked at Mo Wang with an expectant gaze.
"Of course I'm going. Since the Principal has asked me, how could I not go?"
Mo Wang nodded.
Although he wasn't sure what Otto was up to, he was indeed quite interested in Wendy.
And besides, maybe he could even get the gem on Wendy's leg.
